Great! > Pythonwin is launched with 'pythonwin.exe'. Presumably (I speak from > ignorance here) this uses the registry to determine the > installed Python.

That surprises me. win32ui.pyd next to pythonwin.exe should work fine - that is the first thing checked by the code (which FYI is in pythonwin/win32uiHostGlue.h) > I see that the Pythonwin source code is C++, so I guess there > is no way > of creating a Pure Python version. :-) But there is :) import sys import win32ui # importing 'intpyapp' automatically registers an app object. from pywin.framework import intpyapp # Remove this script name from sys.argv, else Pythonwin will try and open it! sys.argv = sys.argv[:-1] # Get the MFC "app" object and boot it up. app = win32ui.GetApp() app.InitInstance() app.Run() app.ExitInstance() The above code should boot a fully functioning Pythonwin - just execute it from pythonw.exe and you should be good to go. The only reason I haven't moved to something like this is that (a) pythonwin.exe already exists, and (b) having a .exe makes it more obvious to a casual user...
